Bybit's New Report: How Institutions and Retail Are Shaping Memecoin Investments

Tripling of Institutional Memecoin Holdings

One of the report's most compelling findings is the dramatic increase in institutional memecoin holdings. From February to March 2024, institutional investors saw their spot holdings of memecoins soar from $62.5 million to $204.8 million. This 226% surge highlights investors' substantial interest in the memecoin market. The full report shows what this means for the future of memecoin investments.

Massive Trading Volume in Perpetual Contracts

Institutions traded a staggering $186.6 billion worth of memecoin perpetual contracts in Q1 2024. While they maintained a cautious approach to spot holdings, their aggressive trading in perpetual contracts demonstrates a sophisticated engagement with the volatile memecoin market. The full report allows readers to understand further how these flows affect memecoin and crypto investments.

Retail Investors Show Dynamic Adjustment and Resilience

Retail memecoin holdings skyrocketed by 478% from February to April 2024, peaking at $567 million before reducing to $371 million.
